Laboratory Study on Mass Stabilization using Lime and Cement Binders on Tropical Peat

A research has been carried out on the effects of lime and cement binders in Tropical Peat. It was focused on the improvement of shear strength and compressibility of tropical peat. Laboratory work simulating the mass stabilization method was carried out by mixing the soil with lime and cement in different proportions. Binders were mixed in dosage rate of 150 kg/m3, 200 kg/m3, and 250 kg/m3 and allowed to cure for 7, 14 and 28 days under 18 kPa of pressure. Samples were then tested with unconfined compressive strength test. Results obtained were compared with the parameters from the unstabilized peat.
